Career
He describes himself as a European Modernist and has painted within that genre all his life. Early exposure to Street Ives Abstraction had a profound influence on him in his early teens and an abiding love of 20th-century European Art have left their mark on him and his work. He has worked extensively in Germany and Australia and has absorbed influences in his work from both these cultures.
His painting Untitled Abstract in Blue and Grey (1994) in is the collection of the Royal Holloway College, University of London.
